I really like the sound overall of the HD650, just wish it had a little more low end. But for a flat sound it is very good. Does the 600 also require a strong amp? I tried many amps with the 650 and the cheapest I could find that had enough power was a Schiit stack Magni/modi

Bluetooth isn't always laggy. I have some older Sony BT headphones, the WH-CH700N precisely. The latency is absurdly low, probably around 100ms using them on my phone. They also have Mic but I think they work on 2.4ghz. Not sure.

That's the joy of this sub! You find new things to spend money on!

It was a 600 or NDH30, i went for the cheapest

It's just on the other HP stand, don't worry

The 600 has less upper bass and low mid energy, which is what i prefer. Both are very similar, just tweaking.

you can call me insane, maniac, crazy fallow or even dumb, but to my ears, the 58X sound better than the 600 and is even cheaper... I know I know, people will gonna kill me, but some times the one killed is the saviour........

not sure how fun it is for others, but i love my Neumann NDH-30.

Hello audio-noob here, what does technical or fun sounding mean? And when would you want neutral phones over fun ones?

The white padding material is for tuning reasons, removing that would create resonances and increase the treble. Don't touch it unless you have a measurement rig.

Wait, am I just missing something? The Penrose does all of this. So it cant be that hard? You are looking for a solution to implement the gear you already have? Or you want something that can do what you described?

I did this same comparison, except for the hd600 change it for a focal clear. My favorite was the Arya>ClearOG>LCDX2021=HD800s

The new SMSL dacs(released a few weeks ago) comes with a switch that switches it to UAC1 mode so it works with any console.

That's definitely not the original cable 🙂 I have bought an aftermarket cable on amazon with a balanced 4.4mm termination. The Fiio BTR7 does have a balanced output ( more power ). 650 and 600 aren't the same, i hope you get the one which satisfies you first haha.

A12t is the custom version of the u12t. I hope it fills your needs.

Perfect sound stage. It has beaten the 1990 which I dislike to the fullest in Half Life 2 Episode 2 where Alyx and Vautigont talk about the Combine invasion together with Gordon... The placement is perfect. Mids are great and treble laid back compared to the M1ST or probably the 600 which I did not receive yesterday thanks Hermest packet service (I have it listed as send to gas station but they went to my home). Bass might be a no-go or a win because it has nothing to do with consumer headphones, it is literally a subwoofer but quieter with so many shapes and levels of darkness. Also super unconfortable headband but pads got bigger by far compared to my now sold NDH20 which sound fake. It needs an amp and shows flaws in music like positioning of everything.

I'd prefer that NDH30 🤤

Grado are terrible, but i love it, I've own a SR880,SR125,SR250, RS2, RS1 and RS1e and sold it all, but i miss the RS1 a lot

​

The only thing i really hate is that they are very uncomfortable.

Interesting, Joshua Velour describes the 880s as having a kind of 'globe' of sound while using them, and I agree with him. Just wondered if there was a way to alleviate that.

I love my 880s, just wish they had a wider soundstage (I think I'm using the correct terminology, I'm a novice in this field).

I'm no expert, but when I eq'd them, they still seemed sibilant, when I put the paper mod inside, the sibilance was gone and the overall sound was the same; no need for software or tweaking and it was super easy. I think modding definitely has a place, just looking for some info on it.

I had both. If you’re talking about the Airpods Pro then yeah the Momentum are better no doubt. But the Airpods Pro 2? I don’t think they’re even on the same league. Most reviewers consistently say these are the best TWS.

I have a schitt stack, that'll need to do for now 😏

Bro. I just lol'ed

Common sense
